beautiful location

not much of breakfast but no big deal

The layout of the apartment and the way to get there immediately immerse you in the ambience of the place. Yes - there are many and small stairs. But that's why you're in Cinque Terre. So prepare and pack the luggage smartly. The large terrace over the small bay is the real highlight. Perfect for dining, sunbathing or just relaxing. Parking facilities in Riomaggiore are very limited. We had therefore booked the garage in addition. Our car, a station wagon (4.72m length x 2.1m width (incl. mirrors)) still fit in. Throughout our stay we could always reach our landlady by text message and received very helpful information. She had a lot of tips for activities in 5Terre and always a few tricky details in addition. Once again thank you Paola!

Nothing really.

The location was excellent!

Because there were no air conditioning in the apt, it was very humid and uncomfortable to sleep in. There was not a breakfast included other than a small basket of snacks. The host did bring some fruit, milk and yogurt after i voiced my concerns about the misinformation.

A magical stay with everything you need! the host is so incredibly nice and she will give you all the tips and tricks you need. The apartment is legit right on the water and so incredibly beautiful to watch the sunset and relax.

Paola meet us at the train station on time and show us the apartment she is a great host and full of information and the view from the large balcony is awesome and in a perfect location I am returning to Riomaggiore in October and tried to book Paola place unfortunately it was booked not surprised Hopefully I can return one day Thanks Paola for a memorable stay

Well appointed. All the breakfast stuff. Friendly and helpful proprietor.

Difficulty finding parking nearby. Only available street parking was 3-4 blocks away. Accommodations are a bit snug.

The hostess met us later at night because we got lost and handed off the keys, standing outside waiting for us. She walked us to the apartment and pointed out restaurants, etc., and gave us advice. We could reach her whenever needed. The apartment is just a flight of steps away from the marina area. Word of warning: lots of stairs and ups and downs in the town, but a beautiful, friendly place. Would highly recommend.

The location and view from the apartment is amazing. Paola is the best!

What an amazing place! One of the best views in town, a large private balcony with the view of the entire bay (in a town where having any balcony is a luxury) and a large apartment with all the basic amenities available. The host was superfriendly (even took some of my luggage from the car with me), available at any times and simply made me feel at home. We got a lot of various food for our first breakfast, a bottle of champagne, and most of all - a lot of insider information into what's happening in the town, what's worth seeting, where to eat, etc. It felt like talking to a friend, not like a business transaction. Awesome. Another superimportant thing was access to a private parking spot (paid extra), and if you've been to Cinque Terre at least once, you'll understand how crucial this is (and if you're going there for the first time, just let me warn you that you really, really do need a private parking spot in this town!). All in all, the next time I go to Riomaggiore, this is the apartment I hope to stay in, again.

Just one issue, but it's a major one - lack of airco. I don't know the rules in the town, maybe they're not allowed to install it - but it definitely gets really hot inside in the summer, and those simple fans won't really be able to bring the temperature down to any reasonable levels.

We had an amazing time at the ca da maina. It truly has an amazing view with a big balcony! Also the maisonette offers a lot of space with a kitchen. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom pretty new and very clean! The host Paola also leaves a little booklet with recommendations and tips. She is also what makes the stay so great. She picked us up at the roundabout at the top of the village, showing us our parking lot (inside!) and telling us already a lot of intersting stuff about the village while walking us to the appartment. She is so open hearted and welcoming (and always reachable via whatsapp) We even got a bottle of champagne as a welcome gift! Thanks Paola for everything!

Nothing really. Maybe important to know for guests coming is that the breakfast provided is (due to regulations they need to adhere to) rather limited (some biscuits and similar prepacked snacks).

We really appreciated staying in Riomaggiore, the Appartement was very close to the sea and had a wonderful view! Paola was also very flexible and even organized a gluten free breakfast for me.

Nothing negative to add, the only thing you should be aware of is that riomaggiore is a steep village so either don’t bring too much/ too heavy luggage or be in good shape :)

Great location. Beautiful view.
